Having been Sunderland since the age of eight, Tom is an old-school type defender who has risen through the Wearside club’s ranks extremely well.

Since then, Tom has trained with the first team and cemented his place in Andy Welsh’s under-21 side and even managed to weigh in with two goals during the 2015-16 season. Tom was also involved for the Mackems under-23's side in this seasons Checkatrade Trophy.

Tom has signed a deal that will see him remain at Bury until the end of the current season and everyone at Bury Football Club would like to wish him well during his stay at Gigg Lane.
